LG now has <STRONG>Author pages</STRONG>. Starting this
|
|
issue, every author gets a page with his or her contact information, bio, and
|
|
links to all the articles s/he has written. The "By <author>" link
|
|
at the top of each article will now go to the Author's page.
|
|
There's also an
|
|
<A HREF="../authors/index.html">author index</A> if you want to browse.
|
|
The former TAG Bios have also turned into Author pages, and the
|
|
<A HREF="../tag/bios.html">TAG Bios index page</A> has been turned into
|
|
a set of links.
|
|
|
|
<P> For those who print the TWDT version of LG (all articles in one
|
|
HTML file), the filenames are now TWDT.html and TWDT.txt.gz instead
|
|
of issue##.html and issue##.txt.gz . This is part of a gradual
|
|
process to make LG easier to maintain over the long term, by getting
|
|
rid of issue numbers in filenames so that files will have persistent
|
|
names month after month. (After all, they are in an issue-specific
|
|
directory.) If this causes problems for anybody, let us know.
|
|
|
|
<P> Over time, we will gradually clean up the links in the back isues
|
|
and try to eliminate symlinks from LG. Some people read LG offline on
|
|
systems without symbolic links, and find it difficult when the files
|
|
don't exist. However, we will maintain the "current/" link at least,
|
|
pointing to the current issue.

The Register <A

HREF="http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/28/27179.html">reports</A>
|
|
that if you type "go to hell" into
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.google.com/">Google</A>, the first result is
|
|
"Microsoft Corporation, Where do you want to go today?"
|
|
Number two is <A HREF="http://hell.com">hell.com</A>, "which seems to
|
|
be a very weird site we do not understand".
|
|
|
|
<P> Hell.com has now regained the #1 slot, and Microsoft is not to be
|
|
seen. Cynics might wonder if Bill Gates did a backroom deal with
|
|
Google to get their entry off the results.

You wanted "Cecil Adams, The Straight Dope" -- he does stuff like that.
|
|
"Women's Day" could probably answer you too.
|
|
|
|
<P> We're "The Linux Gazette Answer Gang" -- we answer Linux questions, not
|
|
chemistry matters.
|
|
|
|
<P> Please advise us where you encountered the "linux-questions-only@ssc.com" address
|
|
and what implied to you that it addressed general questions. We're
|
|
trying to chase down old references and get them updated.

<H4>Women hurt when bullet hits computer</H4>
|
|
|
|
EVERETT, Washington -- A woman was injured in a drive-by shooting about 5:45
|
|
a.m. yesterday as she sat at the computer in her home in the 3400 block of
|
|
119th Place Southeast. A bullet hit her computer screen, causing glass to
|
|
shatter in her face, said Snohomish County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Jan
|
|
Jorgensen.
|
|
|
|
<P> Police found seven rounds in the house, Jorgensen said.
|
|
|
|
<P> Although they did not give a motive, police said they do not believe the
|
|
shooting was random.
|
|
|
|
<P> Only the woman and her husband, who are both in their 40s, live at the
|
|
home, Jorgensen said.
